Really Cool Cardigan/Poncho/Pullover Type Thing!

I hate to say that Sweater Babe has done it again, but Dudes! Katherine has totally rocked her newest design!

Check out this awesome cape with cable and lace details.

This is what Katherine has to say about her latest creation: “Wrap yourself in cozy warmth and look ultra chic to boot!
This fabulous cape features bold cabled, shaped hip pockets and slit armholes. The same cable design embellishes the back. Wide lace panels run down each side. Shaping creates the easy fit and pretty drape.
This is the perfect piece to throw on top of your beautiful kimono-sleeved tops or your everyday t-shirt and jeans! Plus, it’s knit from the top-down, so you can adjust the length if need be.
6-button closure, including an extra button on the collar to keep the chill off of your neck.”

Whatever anyone wants to say about it, I am totally in love. And you guessed it, Yup, it’s going in the queue.

I’ve shared a lot of Christmas stocking knitting patterns over the years (see posts 1, 2, 3 for example) but what if you want to knit a stocking for a non-human member of your family. If you’re looking for Christmas stocking knitting patterns for your cats or dogs, this is the post for you.

These large paw print stockings are perfect for either dogs or cats, so they’re great to knit if you have both. They are worked in the round using DK weight yarn, and the stocking measures about 17 inches/43 cm from the top to the heel. You can get the pattern from nicolaluke.

The K4 Project has a super cute Kitty Christmas stocking pattern, which is worked in worsted weight yarn. They also have a dog version, or you can buy both and get a discount if you have both dogs and cats to knit for. Both projects have two patterns, showing how to work the stockings flat or in the round.

Put your dog into a Christmas scene with this stocking pattern from ifanhourChild. It shows a dog in a dog house in the snow, and has room for the dog’s name at the top. It’s worked flat using worsted weight yarn and the pattern includes charts for many small and medium dog breeds (there’s a separate listing for bigger dogs) so you can stitch a dog that looks like yours.

Annie’s Woolens has both dog and cat stocking knitting patterns that are worked in worsted weight yarn in the round. You can change up the colors to suit your pet if you want, and they come with an alphabet chart for personalization. Or you can stick with holiday colors and buy a kit to make the dog or cat stocking.

Waiting for Santa Paws is a pattern from Kate Agner on Ravelry that would be cute for a dog or a cat. It looks like a leg with a paw print on the bottom part of the foot and more paw prints running around the top of the leg. This is a great option if you don’t want to mess with a heel turn because it doesn’t have a heel, because dogs and cats don’t have heels so why would their stockings?
